Blurb:
A rugged Daddy and a restless Little find the love they’ve both been searching for.
Aiden
I always dreamed of escaping the small town of Juniper Hollow for something bigger and brighter. My college graduation marked the start of that journey, but as I waited for the call about my dream job, I found myself back home, just in time for the holidays. I never expected to meet Levi. The rugged new owner of the Christmas tree farm, he seems as anchored to this town as the trees he cares for. And I’m drawn to him.
Levi
My life revolves around the farm, and the simplicity of small-town living. But from the moment Aiden stumbles into it, I feel a fierce protective instinct and an attraction that’s hard to ignore. As Christmas unfolds, we find ourselves navigating our growing feelings and a Daddy/Little dynamic I didn’t know I was craving. And I’m starting to see that my heart is in more than just the farm—I’m in love with Aiden’s spark, and I can’t imagine life without him. But Aiden’s dream job out of state threatens to pull him away from me. Will our love be strong enough to withstand the pull of our different dreams, or will it be as fleeting as the first snowfall?
This book is part of A Little Christmas: Season Three multi-author series. Each book in A Little Christmas is a standalone where every Little is silly, unique, lovable, and downright adorable, so why not read them all?
Review:
Aiden just graduated from college and has returned to Juniper Hollow to stay with his brother and his brother's fiance until he can save up enough money to become a digital nomad. All he wants is to get away from the town he grew up in. Losing his mother at twelve years old, and being raised by his older brother has caused Aiden to be emotionally closed. While he loves his brother, he knows he gave up a lot to raise him and he wants his brother to have a chance at happiness without having to worry about Aiden.There's another reason Aiden is closed off, he's a "little" and he knows society doesn't always accept people like him. He loves stuffed animals, cozy blankets, scented candles and coloring. These things help to ground him and deal with life's stressors.
Levi lives on a Christmas tree farm he and his family inherited from a relative. He loves working on the farm and living with his mom and teenaged sister, but sometimes it's hard. Levi is a "daddy," but it's not something he advertises or even thinks he can really have, especially living in a small town like Juniper Hollow. Plus the farm is just barely hanging on, and he and his family know they need to generate income and fast in order to be able to stay afloat.
When Aiden's brother "volunteers" him to help Levi renovate some cottages on the farm so Aiden can rent them out as B&B's, Aiden is not happy about it at first, but once he gets a look at Levi he starts to think that maybe this won't be so bad. Levi is friendly and kind to him, and it's not long before Aiden begins to fall under Levi's spell, but he knows it can't go anywhere so at first he keeps Levi at arms length. But neither can deny their attraction, and Levi suspects Aiden's secret of being a little, as well as his pain from losing his mother at so young an age. In fact, all Levi wants to do is take care of Aiden, but Aiden makes it clear that he's leaving at some point and while it's painful for Levi he accepts it. As their attraction grows stronger and stronger, they give in to it and feelings get hurt on both sides. Can these two come to a compromise so they can have what they both want so much, or will they walk away?
Wow! This book positively sizzled, I had to turn on my fan! LOL I absolutely LOVED Aiden and Levi's story! Which is why I gave it a Dreamcatcher Recommended Read. This rating is obviously a step above 5 Stars and it so deserves the rating. The author did a fabulous job of showing the little/daddy dynamic. I've read other little/daddy romances, but this one I felt like it showed the reality. Not that the others didn't but sometimes authors go a little overboard when trying to explain this kink and it made it harder to relate to, at least for me. However, that is not the case with this book. While reading you feel as if you've stepped into Juniper Hollow and the minds of each of the characters, not just the two main ones. You even get to know Levi's mom, and his teenaged sister, as well as Levi's grandfather, and Aiden's brother and fiance a little bit which makes the characters more relatable. This is a wonderful, fabulous, and heartwarming holiday romance that I am delighted to recommend to anyone who is looking for the same. Even if you've never read a little/daddy or gay romance before, I think you will love this one!
